Broken, or jammed into a shoe too tightly and then it fully falls off.

So you read all of that, and came away with “checks out”? If they were technically correct, maybe. But the way their post was stated, they implied the colonies were freaking out over a tax cut that benefited them. Instead, it was the age old tradition of cutting taxes for the wealthy and continuing to tax the Americans disproportionately.

I think in this way, one universe was obliterated and ours was created at the big bang.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. They did it once, they’ll do it (or worse) again when they think they can get away with it.

He thinks we’re both the same. Problem is, violence comes predominantly from the right - that’s why they did exactly what he wanted, and why the left is not. That, and education I guess.

What in the fuck is happening. I’m disgusted that we have this plague of racism in 2025.

Sorry, you’re well out of the loop on this one, boss. Sideloading has been common practice for thousands? millions? of users since the beginning of android. There are plenty of apps not listed on Google Play - the ones that come top mind are Fortnight for a time and now the Epic Games Store app, and some VPN apps that couldn’t offer features like ad/malware blocking in their Play store versions. Sideloading means downloading an executable install file (an .APK file in this case) rather than installing from Google Play. And they are SEVERELY limiting this ability next year.

I feel like all the responses you’re getting are probably generally correct in the context of wind at/near ground level. But I feel like sticking a bunch of these in a JET STREAM is (maybe?) an entirely different matter. Or at least it could be, and I too am curious what the potential ramifications are.

Jet stream winds are not just wind like any other, are they? Various jet streams have serious impacts on weather. If they harnessed and substantively bled off the Pacific jet stream, are there potentially grave consequences on the already variable El Niño and La Niña oscillation? If it could cause serious shifts in the weather, that would affect the livability of areas, create more dangerous weather conditions, and impact farming way around the globe from their wind farm installation.

Maybe none of these are genuine scientific concerns, but frankly I don’t trust China to do the science for the rest of us. Pretending these are genuine concerns, say they screw something up - it probably doesn’t too seriously impact Chinese weather as they harness the jet stream winds right at the point where it leaves their airspace. But the ramifications for the rest of the world could then be dire, and I’m not sure that is remotely a concern for them. Could be an economic advantage even. Two birds, one stone.

Certainly not - because it clearly worked, just not well. i.e., everyone else’s daily experience with AI. There’s no way it had a bad connection and was failing back to onboard processing on a device like this (because I bet it does zero onboard, 100% OTA), it just did a bad job. But convention wifi is congested and consistently garbage for sure. I simply meant that the long response times were likely the thing they should have been blaming on the wifi.

“We’re very happy to have announced the additional 200,000 unit capacity, in total $2.7 billion of additional investment which is going to give more confidence to the State of Georgia and our partners while all this visa and immigration issues get resolved immediately.”

I thought they had already learned the hard way, this blows my mind. What are the chances that the South Korean government forced their hand instead of Hyundai making the decision here to back out?

To be fair (not that Zuck has ever done anything to earn it), wifi at enormous events like that can be super flaky and slow. Thousands of people hitting it simultaneously and it slows to a crawl.

Right - and my point was that the whole rest of the world doesn’t see or experience life in precisely the same way that you do. It is only stupid to make broad generalizations about the whole rest of the world from your tiny little corner of it.

Hey there, Rice-a-Roni - there are 8 billion other people in the world, so it’s pretty bold and exceedingly stupid to speak for all of them. In fact, I’ll bet there are literally a billion people in the world that buy their rice 25kg at a time. I know it is very common in Hawaiian households, I’d guess that there are more Hawaiians buying 25kg bags of rice than there are Hawaiians buying 1 kg bags.

It’s already pretty self-explanatory, what specifically don’t you get?

Ah I seriously didn’t get it either. Although I think maybe the joke was not that you broke your neck, but that you’ll be down there forever because it’s impossible to find a coin on a pool floor and you’ll drown trying.

Ignoring all the other obvious issues… How would this even work if these gestapo fuckers are rounding people up at Home Depot and court houses and routine traffic stops? These farms will just continue to bleed legal and undocumented migrants, regardless of whether they’re directly raiding a farm.

Only a rag would quote Fetterman and credit him as a Democrat. He doesn’t act or believe what he did when he was elected as a Democrat, his perspective is irrelevant.

I grew up Mormon.

I think the point was living by his teachings and remembering his sacrifice, but without glorifying or worshiping the object of his torture and death.
